LIGHT AND SOUND.
As Light hath in its magic weft and woofA sevenfold strand, or mesh of colours, wrought
In th' elemental loom, subtle as thought,
Which make, united, light of purest proof,
To fret with golden fire by night heaven's roof,
And quicken earth by day; so Music, brought
From heaven, with like sevenfoldness fraught,
Her rich harmonics blends for man's behoof.
There is a music of eye as of ear;
A picture is an unheard melody;
And p'raps some time the latter too may hear
That melody in sounds which with tints vie!
Three tones each sound, three tints each ray make clear:
There is a prism of the ear as eye!
